CBS Commentator Jim Beglin Apologises For ‘Latino Temperament’ Statement at PSG’s Di Maria After Red Card

The EX-Ireland international was heavily criticised for his remarks on the American broadcast of the Champions League after the player was sent off

I apologise for my culturally insensitive remarks during the Champions League tie between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain,” Beglin said on Twitter. “I wrongly used a racial stereotype. This was inappropriate and unacceptable.
“Words have a strong impact and I fully understand the severity of what I said when Angel Di Maria was sent off. I will learn from this and be better moving forward.”

With PSG down 2-0 in the second half of Tuesday’s semi-final second leg, Di Maria and Fernandinho were involved in a confrontation on the sideline after the ball had gone out of play. After the pair had words, Di Maria kicked out and stomped on the Brazilian, drawing a red card from the referee.
Man City would go on to advance to the Champions League final with a 4-1 aggregate win.
